Can't people still working with this just use 1.33.x version of boost? 
That won't suddenly stop working.  The same goes for the other compilers 
in the list. And yes, we use Borland 5.6.4 and so we've just been 
proposed to be dropped, but given that some libraries already have 
stopped supporting it, such as ublas, spirit (that ships with boost) and 
it was also mentioned a while back that the new filesystem lib won't, 
the we have trouble moving forward because we make use of these libraries.
